Biography Alejandro Orozco

Alejandro Orozco Ortiz Izquierdo (Mexico, 1979) studied music from 1997 to 2002 at the Instituto Cardenal Miranda in Mexico City. He studied piano with Gustavo Morales, choral and orchestral conducting with Xavier González, composition with Victor Rasgado and musicology with Xavier González. In 2002 he received a scholarship from the Instituto Cardenal Miranda to continue his studies and development abroad. Alejandro Orozco chose Codarts (Rotterdam Conservatorium) as a starting point due to the affinity between his music and the contemporary music in the Netherlands. In 2008 he graduated and continued his studies of the master program in composition at Codarts with Robin de Raaff as main teacher and Rene Uijlenhoet with electronic music.

His most important works are: Brains CORNER (music theatre premiered by the Rotterdam Young Ensemble, conducted by Roberto Beltran), Regen (3rd prize in the VSB Poëzieprijs 2007) for piano, cello, saxophone and mezzo-soprano, Colatijera (premiered by Orkest 'de ereprijs') and Reddish Memory (composition prize of the TROMP International Music Competition and Festival 2008). At this time Orozco is preparing an opera that will be premiered in 2010.
